"Portret van een jonge man" is a portrait photograph taken by Louis Robert Werner between 1866 and 1896. The photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young man in a formal pose with his arms crossed. Werner, a prominent Dutch photographer, utilized the Carte de Visite format, a popular photographic format of the time. The small size of the photograph, measuring only 85 mm by 53 mm, was ideal for sharing and exchanging personal portraits.
